The action of hexamine and water convert a benzyl halide to this functional group in the Sommelet reaction. This functional group can be formed by reaction with the Jones reagent only if it does not form a hydrate, and this functional group is created via palladium catalysis from ethene in the Wacke
The action of hexamine and water convert a benzyl halide to this functional group in the Sommelet reaction. This functional group can be formed by reaction with the Jones reagent only if it does not form a hydrate, and this functional group is created via palladium catalysis from ethene in the Wacker process. These can be created by the three-three sigmatropic rearrangement of allyl vinyl ethers in a rearrangement named for (*) Claisen. This functional group is converted first to a dibromoalkene and then alkyne in the Corey Fuchs reaction, and two of these functional groups react in a disproportionation that competes with the aldol condensation named for Cannizaro. For 10 points, name this functional group that produces a silver mirror in the Tollen's test and, similar to a ketone, consists of a terminal carbonyl.
